World War 3, Economic Front-United Police States of America: Prison number one reason men are unemployed?

June 19, 2013 Hutchins AAron

The U.S. Department of Labor reports that the percentage of men with jobs had dropped to 88%, in 2012. There are several factors, but it seems there’s a correlation with the record breaking incarceration rates of men.

By the end of 2011 more than 2.2 million U.S. citizens, overwhelmingly men, were in prison. And of those released from prison at least half will be imprisoned again. That’s according to the U.S. Bureau of Justice (BoJ).

On top of that almost 5 million U.S. citizens are on parole, or some other form of ‘justice’ monitoring!

The BoJ also states that incarceration rates increased by 20 times from 1920 to 2006, even though the total U.S. population grew by only 2.8 times. This is clear evidence that there is some kind-o-conspiracy to put people in prison. Perhaps free labor for those corporate run for profit prisons?

“Louisiana is the world’s prison capital. The state imprisons more of its people, per head, than any of its U.S. counterparts. First among Americans means first in the world. Louisiana’s incarceration rate is nearly five times Iran’s, 13 times China’s and 20 times Germany’s. The hidden engine behind the state’s well-oiled prison machine is cold, hard cash. A majority of Louisiana inmates are housed in for-profit facilities, which must be supplied with a constant influx of human beings or a $182 million industry will go bankrupt.”–The Times-Picayune

In 2009, two county judges in Pennsylvania pled guilty to accepting bribes, in exchange for illegally imprisoning children, mostly boys, in for profit corporate prisons. It was called the Kids for Cash scandal.

An estimated 17% of federal prisoners are forced to work for UNICOR, aka Federal Prison Industries. They make between 23 cents to $1.15 per hour, and 50% of that income goes to court ordered payments!

According to Harvard sociology professor, Bruce Western, 1.2% of white men and 9% of black men born right after the end of the Second World War (1945) had been to prison. But when you look at men born just after 1975 the incarceration rates jump; 3.3% of white men and 20.7% of black men had been to prison!

Human Rights Watch says 56% of imprisoned people are mentally ill!

As of 2008, the official incarceration rate in the United States is 743 out of every 100,000 citizens.

The entire eastern half of the U.S., and the West Coast states, house the most prisoners.

Yes folks, the numbers are record breaking, and have made the United States of America the top country for imprisoning its own population, which, according to the propaganda we were told during the Cold War, is proof of an oppressive authoritarian regime!

False Flag Bio-War? GMO crops intended to create starvation in the U.S. & Canada?

“The US (and Canadian) yields are falling behind economically and technologically equivalent agroecosystems matched for latitude, season and crop type; pesticide (both herbicide and insecticide) use is higher in the United States than in comparator W. European countries….”

A study by the University of Canterbury, in New Zealand, has revealed that the people of the United States and Canada could soon face starvation because of continued use of GMO (genetically modified organism) crops.

“The choice of GM-biotechnology packages in the US agroecosystem has been the stark contrast with W. European patterns of biotechnology use. Notwithstanding claims to the contrary…..there is no evidence that GM biotechnology is superior…..”

“Producing food is an essential activity, and the ability to produce food is a global strategic asset.”

“…..GM crops are not a solution, in part because they are controlled by strict IP instruments. Despite the claims that GM might be needed to feed the world, we found no yield benefit when the United States was compared to W. Europe……GM crops have maintained or increased US pesticide use relative to equally advanced competitors. The pattern and quantities unique to the use of GM-glyphosate-tolerant crops has been responsible for the selection of glyphosate-tolerant weeds, with estimates of resistant weeds on between 6 and 40 million hectares [14.8 million to 98.8 million acres] in the United States…….The use of Bt crops is associated with the emergence of Bt resistance and by novel mechanisms in insect pests“

“The diversity of the germplasm is not increasing under the commercial sector in the United States and under prevailing government innovation incentives…..This is linked to globally declining rates in yield growth.”

False Flag op? Retired TWA 800 crash investigators say it was no accident!

“These investigators were not allowed to speak to the public or refute any comments made by their superiors and/or NTSB and FBI officials about their work at the time of the official investigation. They waited until after retirement to reveal how the official conclusion by the (NTSB) was falsified and lay out their case.”-producers of new documentary TWA Flight 800

The investigators revealing the truth are Hank Hughes, former senior accident investigator with the NTSB, Bob Young, an investigator with TWA and Jim Speer, investigator with the Airline Pilots Association.

TWA FLIGHT 800 is an EPIX Original Documentary.

World War 3, Economic Front: Sears revenues down because of shuttered stores! Kmart slave labor! Sears Canada begins closing stores! Sears sells out to Lowe’s?

June 19, 2013 Hutchins AAron

19 June 2013 (21:59 UTC-07 Tango 18 June 2013)/10 Sha’ban 1434/29 Khordad 1391/12 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

Illinois about to lose the Mount Vernon Sears. Sears Holdings officials gave the usual bullshit reason for the closing: “As a part of the ordinary course of business, we close stores for a variety of reasons. The store closures are part of a series of actions we’re taking to reduce ongoing expenses, adjust our asset base and accelerate the transformation of our business model. These actions will better enable us to focus our investments on serving our customers and members through integrated retail – at the store, online and in the home.”

A woman who bought Halloween decorations at a Kmart store that has since closed, discovered a letter inside one of the boxes containing the decorations. It was a plea for help from a Chinese slave laborer. The New York Times confirmed the letter by finding the actual slave laborer. He has since been freed, but was held in a Chinese slave labor camp for his outlawed religious beliefs. The company that supplied Kmart with the decorations denied they were made by slave laborers.

Sears Holdings reported a loss of $279 million USD during the quarter that ended 04 May 2013. Ironically Sears is blaming part of the drop in sales on the fact that they’ve closed so many stores: “Domestic store closures accounted for approximately $375 million of the decrease from the prior year quarter.”-Sears Holdings First Quarter 2013 report

Sears Holdings is also blaming Sears Canada for ongoing losses: “Sears Canada’s comparable store sales declined 2.6% in the quarter”

They also blame the value of the U.S. dollar: “First quarter revenues also included a decrease of $19 million due to foreign currency exchange rates.”

On 14 June 2013, it was announced that Sears Canada will start closing stores in the Great White North. Canadian news media report that two to three major Sears stores in the Toronto area will be closed. Sears Canada officials blame the owners of the property, saying the landlords offered to pay Sears at least two hundred million in CAD (CAnadian Dollars) to vacate the premises. (in January Sears Canada closed two distribution centers, ending 700 jobs)

On 17 June 2013, California based Orchard Supply Hardware went bankrupt. OSH was bought by Sears in 1996. Sears began selling stock in OSH in 2012. Now reports say Lowe’s (a hardware competitor) is looking to become the new owner of OSH.

World War 3, Asia-Pacific Front: USMC admits Iraq, Afghanistan & War on Terror just preps for war with China!

June 18, 2013 Hutchins AAron

The U.S. Marine Corps has revealed a new COIN policy; kill the enemy, then kiss and make up afterwards: “Asking young Marines to kill at one time and not at the other, and being able to talk to someone immediately after coming out of a firefight…”-USMC Brigadier General Richard Simcock, Marine Corps Forces Pacific

According to several USMC sources the new policy, being run out of the Center for Advanced Operational Culture Learning in Quantico, Virginia, is a way of preparing Marines for future/expected military operations in the Asian-Pacific area (ie China). The policy went into effect in October 2012.

Also, USMC non-coms will now have to ‘volunteer’ to become experts in the cultural values of certain regions of the Asia-Pacific, if they want to be considered for further promotions.

This seems to coincide with the island hopping exercises that have been taking place off the coast of California since 2010. Those war games involve Japan, Australia, New Zealand, United States and even Canada.

I remember when soldiers and Marines considered being used as nation building Global cops abhorrent. But in 2006, USA General David Patreaus and USMC General James Mattis revised U.S. COIN policy in FM 3-24 Counterinsurgency, saying “Soldiers and Marines are expected to be nation-builders….”

Former U.S. Ambassador to Iraq, Ryan Crocker, says the future military adventures of the United States will require soldiers and Marines to double as diplomats. (as a former warrior with California & Idaho Army National Guards, during the Cold War and post Cold War, I say bullshit on that!)

USMC officials have admitted that they have been given orders from the Commander in Chief, Barack Obama, to focus on the Asia-Pacific region.

USMC Major Thomas Ross stated that the experiences of Afghanistan and Iraq were instrumental in leading up to the current U.S. policy in the Asia-Pacific region. This can only mean that the United States government is about to launch a war of control (in the name of fighting terrorism?) in that region.

Medical Martial Law: Medical detention enforced in South Carolina TB outbreak!

June 18, 2013 Hutchins AAron

18 June 2013 (21:55 UTC-07 Tango 17 June 2013)/09 Sha’ban 1434/28 Khordad 1391/11 Wu-Wu (5th month) 4711

“We need to be more educated because we’ve had contact with him. Does it affect us? Do we need to do any testing?”-neighbor of man detained

Government officials in the U.S. state of South Carolina are implementing Title 44-Health, Chapter 31, Article 2 THE EMERGENCY DETENTION AND COMMITMENT OF TUBERCULOSIS PATIENTS law.

One man has already been detained under the law. Nearly 100 people have been infected with TB, considered the worst TB outbreak in South Carolina since 2003. However, only the one man has been detained, and reports say he could be in medical detention for months.

He’s being called “Patient A” by health officials, and they say he was detained for refusing to co-operate with medical personnel. A neighbor of the detained man questions his detention, saying he seemed healthy before he was detained by authorities. She also said the Department of Health and Environmental Control are not providing any details about the TB outbreak, causing a lot of people to wonder.

State officials defend themselves saying they’re looking for someone who can represent the detained man, before they’ll give out any info.

Local news reports say the man is a janitor at a school where the TB outbreak began. Many parents are upset with Department of Health and Environmental Control, because the DHEC is not giving out info concerning the TB outbreak at the school. The outbreak at the school apparently began in March, and has since spread.

Local news reports also say neighbors of the detained man have seen many people going in and out of the man’s house. A local reporter tried to question one of those people, but was rebuffed.

DHEC officials said the detained man could challenge his detention in court, but hellooo, how can the man get a lawyer when he’s already in medical detention? Sounds like Medical Martial Law to me.

United Police States of America: Your tax dollars pay for Texas rape camps!!!

A county in Texas is being sued by female inmates for running a rape camp. Don’t think it’s a bogus claim, because three prison guards have already been convicted of sex crimes and are now in prison themselves!

Here’s the official court filed accusations from the female inmates: “Beginning sometime in 2007 to at least August of 2010 the Live Oak County Sheriff’s office ran a ‘rape camp’ known as the Live Oak County Jail. In this facility, numerous jailers, all employed by the Live Oak County Sheriff’s Office, repeatedly raped and humiliated female inmates over an extended period of time. These forced acts of lasciviousness included, but are not limited to, forcing female inmates to repeatedly perform oral sex on male guards, forcing female inmates to repeatedly masturbate the male guards, the male guards masturbating in view of the female inmates, male guards forcing digital penetrative sex acts in the female inmates’, forcing female inmates to engage in sexual sex acts with other female inmates, including but not limited to forcing female inmates to have oral sex with each other, among other things.
In addition to the repeated sexual assaults, numerous female inmates were sexually harassed. Certain male guards would strip the female inmates of their clothing and provide only shaving cream to conceal their genitalia. Certain male guards would sometimes force the female inmates to shower in front of them while instructing them to shave their vaginas. In other instances, while detailing their degenerate sexual fantasies, the jailers would pin the girls against a wall, grope their persons, verbally berate them, digitally rape their vagina and/or anus, then force them to perform oral sex.
In order to facilitate their carnal impulses, these guards would withhold food and water, engage in physical abuse, restrict privileges and verbally and emotionally abuse the women – even threaten to kill them in order to compel their compliance.”

But wait, there’s more! Go to courthousenews.com to read more about the taxpayer funded depraved prison guards’ rape camp.

World War 3, U.S. Economic Front: Job losses & store closings 14-16 April 2013. More school & health care cuts!

June 17, 2013 Hutchins AAron

What U.S. automotive industry recovery? After more than 74 years of service to South Boston and Southern Virginia, car dealership Wyatt Chevrolet ends operations. The owner blames crashing sales on the bad economy, saying it’s a sign that he needs to retire.

In New York, the Bay Shore School District laid off 40 teachers. It’s blamed on a $5 million USD budget gap. The Ticonderoga Central School District could layoff between 11 and 15 people, and cut some sports programs. In DeKalb Junction, Carvel Hardware closed due to the owners retirement. The owner said he’s been trying to sell the building, but so far no takers. After 45 years of business, Bleecker Bob’s Golden Oldies record store shut down in Greenwich Village. The owner blamed internet competition and a landlord that keeps jacking up the rent.

In Florida, Edison State College laid off at least eight staff. Officials said their contracts will not be renewed. The college is undergoing a revue of its accreditation.

In California, Coast Community College District is considering letting go “dozens” of employees. It’s blamed on public and private funding cuts.

In Indiana, the Indianapolis Public Schools will layoff 59 people. Officials blame a $30 million deficit! After 92 years, Crownover Jewelry closed up shop. The current owner says changes in the jewelry market is forcing him to find a new career.

In Missouri, another of god’s Christian schools went down. Christ the King School in Kansas City shut down, after 68 years of operations. Church officials say student enrollment has declined to the point that they are losing money.

In Michigan, 42 teachers with the Grand Blanc school district, now unemployed. Detroit Medical Center laid off 300 people! Those still with jobs will see their pay cut! Blame Obama/Romney Affordable Health Care Plan!

Delaware Hospice laid off 52 employees (after laying off 104 employees starting in January). Company officials blame it on reorganization of the company.

AbbVie, to layoff hundreds of sales staff. The drugmaker is switching from ‘primary care’ drugs to ‘specialty’ drugs.

In Kentucky, the Blue Grass Army Depot laying off 182 people! It’s blamed on reduced federal spending.

50 people lost their jobs at the U.S. Army’s Fort Rucker, in Alabama. The employees work for contractor Army Fleet Support, their layoffs being blamed on new contract requirements.

In North Carolina, non-profit Industries for the Blind laid off 40 employees. Turns out the non-profit is a contractor for the U.S. Army, making moisture absorbing T-shirts. The contract recently ended.

In Texas, the San Antonio Housing Authority laid off 16 people. Officials blame federal funding cuts, and warned that more layoffs were possible.

MV Transportation, a Texas based company is ending transportation service in Greenbelt, Maryland, laying off 188 people! Too Big to Jail Bank of America closed its Muddy Creek Road branch office in Churchton. Local news reports said no reason was given.

In Iowa, Linn County laying off 22 employees, due to state funding cuts.

Minnesota based scrapbooking company, Creative Memories, warned of bankruptcy. 150 jobs threatened!

In Illinois, SRNTY Jewelry out-o-business. The owners say they will focus on wholesale orders only.

In South Carolina, Lisa’s Country Corner gift store, and Cathleen’s Daughter antique store, both closed down in Lexington’s Old Mill. The owner of the gift store is switching to internet sales only. The antique store owner blamed the bad economy for her store going out-o-business.

After 30 years of service the homeless shelter, Richmond Freedom House, shut down in Virginia. It’s blamed on reduction in public and private funding.

In Pennsylvania, Seidenburg Luggage and gift store closed down after 75 years of business.

World War 3, Asia-Pacific Front: Obama increasing military personnel in Australia! Japan & Canada increases wargames in California, preps for war with China!

It’s been revealed that President Barack Obama is increasing the number of U.S. Marines occupying Australia.

Australian Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, and Defence Minister, Stephen Smith, announced that they’ve agreed to allow 1150 U.S. Marines to be deployed in the city of Darwin next year. Currently about 200 Marines spend six months a year, in the Darwin area, playing army with Aussie Diggers. There are other U.S. military personnel stationed elsewhere in Australia.

In 2011 Obama announced he would be stationing at least 2500 Marines and U.S. Air Force airmen in Australia.

Analysts point out that the city of Darwin has a strategic advantage to quickly deploy troops against China!

In the U.S. state of California, it was revealed that for the first time ever all three branches of the Japanese Self Defense Forces are taking part in a major war game with U.S. Marines, Canadian navy and New Zealand. Officials from Australia and Singapore are observing operation Dawn Blitz 2013.

The war games began this past week, and involve (as in recent smaller war games with U.S. Marines) the invasion and capture of islands. If you’ve been following news out of East Asia you’d know that Japan and China are at odds over certain islands, even threatening war over them.

The U.S. sponsored Dawn Blitz wargames began in 2010, which is about when Japan began ratcheting up their claims on disputed islands. Recently Japan took over a island and China is demanding it be returned to them.

Japanese claims are upsetting not only China, but Russia, Korea (both north & U.S. ally south) and even U.S. ally Taiwan. The Obama administration has repeatedly stated they support Japan’s claims on the disputed islands.

The Manassas Kmart in Virginia will shut down by September.

Also in Virginia, a Springfield Kmart loss prevention employee caught a shoplifter, then tried to force the shoplifter to perform sexual acts. According to Fairfax County Police, the suspect is charged with “…abduction with intent to defile and forcible sodomy.”

In Canada, a woman discovered Sears has been charging her for critical illness health insurance policy, that she never agreed to. The charge on her Sears credit account was coming from ACE INA Insurance, which is a vendor partner with Sears Canada. The charges have been ongoing since 2009, and she had to hire a lawyer o fight them.

According to Yahoo Finance, Sears is the most hated retail store in the U.S.

Most mall based vacated Sears stores will be used as emergency “business continuity services”, to supposedly keep other businesses running in case of natural disasters or civil uprisings/unforeseen events.

Most vacated Kmarts will be used as domestic spying data collection centers, because most Kmarts are not connected to malls or other stores, therefore it’s easier to hide just who is operating the data center.

Sears Holdings officials say the vacated Sears and Kmarts were chosen for such population monitoring/controlling operations because 70% of the U.S. population live near a Sears or Kmart!
